Israeli forces today morning attacked Palestinians participating in a tree-planting event in the northern West Bank village of Beit Dajan, east of Nablus.

Eyewitnesses told SAFA that the Israeli forces bombarded participants with teargas in an effort to disperse them after preventing many others from reaching the event.

They said the soldiers showered the participants in the event with teargas, causing dozens of suffocation cases, and fired rubber-coated metal bullets and stun grenades in their direction.

Palestinians have attempted to reach the village in the morning to take part in the tree-planting event organized by the Nationalist Forces in Nablus in cooperation with the Wall and Settlements Resistance Commission in an effort to prevent Israel from taking over the Palestinian land for its settlement activities.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces set up roadblocks and turned back hundreds of activists, many were forced to look for alternative roads to reach their destination.
